Paths will also be widened in the aim of creating a safer environment to cycle and walk. The proposals for the scheme result from an active travel investment from the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP). Yvonne Constance, the county council’s cabinet member for the environment, said: “This is great news for Witney. The funding from OxLEP recognises the ambition of our active travel plans and enables us to build on our existing commitment to accelerate our bold plans for transforming how people travel and how communities are connected.

BICESTER residents are being urged to give feedback on a major new cycle scheme to help make the town a safer place to ride and walk, cutting vehicle journeys and creating cleaner air. Proposals for the Bicester Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan will be made possible thanks to the government s active travel fund as well as an investment by the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP), with a focus on increasing cycle journeys. Under the plan, it is hoped people will be able to walk or cycle from the south and west of Bicester into the town centre, via Kings End and Causeway.
